Interestingly I remembered Setsuna used the shield on exia only sparingly. That's probably why they figured the 00 doesnt need the shield and go with less mass for extra speed / acceleration.

Usually the shields are destroyed with few blast easily

What about the GP02's shield? Never say the earlier series, so I wouldn't know...

the GP02 is a nuclear firing gundam so the shield was made to take damage and is also used as a cooling unit. It pretty much lasted till the last fight of the GP02.

I saw it linked on http://gunota.info today, and thought it looked pretty awesome. :cool:

I don't know... that pose is just... eh... bit peculiar.

Exia destroy mode!?, now that makes sense FOR setsuna....:heh:

well i use HLJ to get most of my gundam stuff because other sites dont offer SAL method. i mainly order small stuff such as decals, markers and sometimes kits. most of the time it takes around 2 weeks to get to Sydney. if your lucky it might take 10 days or so.

For the most part its really awesome looking, id love for the MG to look something like that. with movable parts for Trans-am. And after watching the last ep of 00 ive been really tempted to buy a exia model but i dont want to get the 100 because ill get the MG for sure when that comes out. I was thinking of getting the 60 scale because its the most detailed out of all the other exia models.

Hehe, Exia Destroy Mode.

Though I have to agree, that pose looks...off. Like that weird guy in Soul Caliber IV.

ugh...

Haha, I'm also holding out for the MG. Though, judging by the number of kits Bandai rolls out for 00, I wouldn't be surprised if the MG comes out only after the Trans Am, extra finish, designer's colour variants for all the suits. :heh:

I dunno, I don't much like the Exia 1/60. The feet seem unproportionally huge IMO.

Exia's shield would like a word with you...

The same shield that got destroyed by a single mid-power blast from the Throne Eins and shattered by a couple of GN Fang shots is hardly a convincing argument :heh: Against solid weaponry the shield does its job well, but against more powerful beam weapons it does tend to shatter quite easily. Even the Strike's shield was more powerful (barring the out of universe goof up explanation :heh: )

Well, of course against the Thrones it fell, cause it wasn't designed to stand up against beam attacks.

But yes, I was referring to all the times it HAXED sold ammo rounds. Especially in episode 2 when it took a direct hit from a Tieren long range cannon.

I noticed that there are always some off proportions when it comes to 60 scale kits like the neck too, it looks like the head is just floating there. But out of all the non PG kits the Exia looks the most "as it should be"

So that's a no on word regarding a HG Shin Musha, then?


(I'd like to see a CB-ified version of that suit, with space for a GN Drive in the back...)

Pretty much. It doesn't belong to any Gundam series(as far as I know) so chances of it appearing in the HG line goes down sharply.

I see - oh well.

There's a GFF of it if you're looking for a small version of it.
